I arrived at Ferrybridge at 8:30am on low water but still had a good
40minutes walk to my mark, which has been coming up with the goods over
the last couple of weeks. I eventually made it to my mark and had my
rods in the water by 930am. I didn't have a bite for the first hour or
so but as soon as the tide started to run the bite come along and first
up was a gurnard
Not long after this I had a plaice that i was targeting , on a loop rig with rag/squid
This was soon follwed by another of similar sze and I also missed a really good knock around this time
I then had to wait a few hours for a rattle followed by slackliner , this
happend for 5 casts in a row and the first 4 knocks I had nothing to
show and was thinking I have either developed a knack for missing plaice
or its bream...thankfully on the 5th slackliner it was proved to be the
latter
Time was now getting on and just before dark I had a good knock , it was
in fact a ray that had decided to consume my plaice bait
The sun had gone down by the time I put the ray back and bait was
running low so i started baiting small with the worms and I had just a
few squids left for the hounds .First up was a dog fish on the squid ,
as he hadn't done to much damage to the squid i just reset the pennel
and put it back out .Not long after this my rod with a 3cm ragworm got
hit well ......not the rod I was trying to get a hound on but I won't complain a nice starry hound at 4lbs 8oz
I could see that my other rod line was close to the ground while getting
in the starry so I was straight over to that rod and found a common
hound had taken the reused squid
Taking into account the odd pout and poor cod I had throught the
evening I was on 9 species and wanted 10 species but was basically out
of bait other then a pout .So i used bits of pout and reused squid for a
try at a bass 20 yards out ...Didn't get the bass but two small strap
congers so got to the ten species result!
